Mechanical and chemical weathering By, Autumn Baxter
Ice wedging Freeze- thaw crack widens or gets bigger This is mechanical Mechanical means- is broken down external conditions
Wind Abrasion Sand Blasting This rock is mechanical Mechanical means- is Broken down external conditions
Water Abrasion Smooth and round Water Abrasion is mechanical Mechanical means- Broken down external conditions
Gravity Abrasion Cooling and breaking down, repeated impact Gravity Abrasion is mechanical Mechanical means- Broken down external conditions
Plants Roots breaking or cracking it. Plants are mechanical Mechanical means- Broken down external conditions
Animal bURROWING Animal Burrowing digging breaking it up Animal Burrowing is mechanical Mechanical means- Broken down external conditions
Acid Precipitation Burning Chemically with water. Acid Precipitation`s is a Chemical Weathering Chemical weathering means – Break down rock by chemical changes
Acid in Groundwater In groundwater chemically break down Acid In groundwater is a Chemical weathering Chemical weathering means – Break down rock by chemical changes
Acids in living things Chemical weathering inches produce. Acids in living things is chemical weathering Chemical weathering means – Breaking down rock by chemical changes
Rusting or oxidation Iron or soil rusting. Rusting or oxidation is Chemical Weathering Chemical weathering means – Breaking down rock by chemical changes
